Category Archives: Hold My Duck

It all started many years ago as a joke (as most things do). I started asking interesting people to pose with a duck to see if people would do it. As it turns out, most people don’t mind. They usually just laugh and strike a pose with the duck. Eventually Duckshow persuaded the likes of such people such as The Naked Cowboy in Times Square, Carrot Top, and even Samuel L. Jackson to pose with a duck. Although some took a little more persuading than others, all were good sports. And then……

At NYC Comic Con, I stepped up to take a photo with some Super Heros. I asked them all to hold a duck. For some reason I just thought they would play along and we’d have a funny group ‘hold my duck’ shot. But holy cow, Batman… I was wrong! They told me they couldn’t hold any “product”…..or “produck” in this case So I had to hold ALL the ducks in my hands! And here’s the “produck” of what happened. I stuck my tongue out in the photo (and so did my doppelganger apparently). Hold my duck? Fail!

There are always so many colorful costume characters at Comic Con! This year was no different! And as usual, Duckshow is there to capture it all… getting some of the characters to pose with a duck. Here are the results…..

The Toy Shack has been featured on a show, “Pawn Stars,” centered on the now famous Gold and Silver Pawn Shop in Vegas run by Rick Harrison. Call me corny, but I love that show. I was visiting the Toy Shack and saw owner Johnny Jimenez who is the vintage toy expert who comes down to the pawn shop when Rick needs some advice on the value of an old collectable toy. He was super cool and we took a pic holding one of our favorite toys

There’s a duck in there somewhere! Heehe. You gotta be pretty limber to do all those Showgirl high kicks! These ladies were awesome! If you are in the downtown Las Vegas area be sure to get your very own pic with them! Check out their facebook page here.

I was in Atlantic City (again…..what can I say….it’s such a cheap getaway . I ran into Mr. Peanut on the boardwalk, and of course I had to get a pic of him with a duck…..Fizzy duck is almost camouflaged!

Fizzy Duck: “Fancy running into Mr. Peanut in Atlantic City! This is nuts!”

As I said in the previous post, there were so many people dressed up that I just couldn’t help but ask quite a few of them to pose with one of my ducks! Here are even more Comic Con crusaders with ducks:

Harley Quinn and Jester Duck…..two of a kind!

Mario warns Superduck about the dangers of swimming in the toilet.

Pinhead wonders if there are duckies in hell….Superduckie tells him there are devil ducks in hell.

Who ya gonna call when a ghost tries to eat your duck?! Ghostbusters, of course!

Oh my! What did she do to that duck?

Zombies show their “undying” love for the zombie duck.

She is sad because the duckie has been zombie-fied…not to worry….the duck’s quack is worse than it’s bite

Who in their right mind would dress form head to toe yellow?! Oh wait, that’s me! And of course, I’m holding a duck

The yellow get up I sported in the above picture was just for one day of Comic Con. I dressed up in full costume the next day of Comic Con! What was my costume? Was it duck themed? Stay tuned to find out!
